davef1999 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Are there any good workarounds for saving the "other" version in file change collisions?My understanding of the current behavior is that when the same file on two machines is changed simultaneously, BTSync picks the newest and the "older" change is lost. (a) Do I understand the behavior correctly?( Is there some way to detect collisions and resolve them by hand?My application is document sync, and every once in a while I end up w/changes on both sides of the sync. In those cases, I really really want to know & sort out the changes myself.The late, lamented Windows Live Mesh, f.k.a Windows Live Sync, f.k.a. FolderShare would leave both files in the sync folder, tagged with the name of the machine. For example, if machine "Allice" is syncing with "Bob", and foo.txt is changed on both machines in between sync sessions (say, when both are on an airplane, disconnected from the 'net), then FolderShare would create "foo.txt.Alice" and "foo.txt.Bob" on both machines. Perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rewt0r Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 We're also waiting for this before implementing BTSync. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
